Happy New Year’s Eve to you and happy birthday to me!My birthday wish is that everyone will realize the power we have to create the world we want to see and speak up on the issues that matter. I want to thank you for your support in disrupting implicit bias and creating a more equitable world. If you haven’t already, post and pledge to #climbforequality! Pledge to vote. And stay tuned for more info on a big action around climate change on January 31! #actonclimate Photo: taking in the views from the roof of the world, camp 2 at 25,000’/ 7,620m on Everest/Chomolungma. Tearing my ACL seven weeks before Everest was one of my lowest lows. It’s still hard for me to believe I was able to complete the climb without my ACL. It was such an incredible year where I had to confront my worst fears while accomplishing my biggest goals. I can’t wait for what’s ahead.
“One can never be bored by powder skiing because it is a special gift of the relationship between earth and sky. It only comes in sufficient amounts in particular places, at certain times on this earth; it lasts only a limited amount of time before sun and wind changes it. People devote their whole lives to it for the pleasure of being so purely played by gravity and snow.” -Dolores LaChapelle @clifbar #CraftedwithPurpose
After skiing with the family, we snuck out for a lap in the backcountry amidst the freshly coated Christmas trees. I’ve spent a bunch of time this week teaching my nieces and nephews how to ski. My hope is that their memories of the time we spent together in nature will last long after they outgrow their toys. Time spent together outside is the best gift we can give each other.
